Those words are hiding in the rain
even vanishing, the memories remain
those words are hiding in the light
even vanishing, I hope you are all right
Don't you need someone to take you by the hand?
don't you need someone to help you understand?
don't you need someone to stay until the end?
LIGHT AND RAIN NEVER HAPPEN IN VAIN.

Thank you for featuring WORDS TO THINK. OR TO SING.
ReplyDeleteHello Straight from the Library,
ReplyDeleteI’m thrilled and honored to stop by your blog today.
A special thank you for featuring WORDS TO THINK. OR TO SING. and for highlighting VANISH as your favorite excerpt. Its selection means a lot to me. This poetic pop song excerpt reflects on the aftereffects of fading written promises and how we process them, going through the storms of letting go, while both light and rain slowly consume the paper that keeps those words present.
For anyone curious to explore further before diving in, the book recently received two thoughtful editorial recommendations:
– Literary Titan Review https://literarytitan.com/2025/07/17/words-to-think-or-to-sing/
– Reader’s Favorite Review https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/words-to-think-or-to-sing
Thank you again for having me today. Wishing you all an inspiring read. I would really love to have you along for this special unfolding musical journey. And maybe one day, we can even sing some of your favorite lines together :)
To meaningful connections and inspiring sonorous moments,
Intensia
What is a specific scene or aspect of your book that you're particularly proud of, and what made it so challenging or rewarding to write
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful question, Sohamolina! What made the process so exciting was choosing which song snippets to feature. I wanted each excerpt to work well even as a glimpse, while staying true to the poetic and minimalistic style of the whole book. Adapting the original spark and poignancy in those brief insights was a special task because I aimed to keep them heartfelt and compact. The idea that connection will come also from those little messages about their meaning, resonating on a deeper level, was very fulfilling for me. I hope you’ll enjoy discovering it. Wishing you a wonderful read already 🙂
DeleteSounds like a good book.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sherry! This means a lot to me. I wish you happy reading already, I'm excited to hear your thoughts :)
DeleteSounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Marcy! I'm so glad that you like it. I look forward to hearing which lines resonate with you most :)
DeleteThe book sounds wonderful. I love poetry!
ReplyDeleteThank You, Pippirose! It's wonderful to hear that the book resonates with you. While it's not really traditional lyric in a classical meaning, I do believe these excerpts from my pop songs in progress share a similar spirit with modern poetry :)
DeleteEach line carries its own melody, and I can't wait for these words to fully come alive as songs available on streaming services, one at a time. I truly hope you'll dive into the book and enjoy the unique experience it offers. Maybe one day we'll even be singing your favourite lines together at the top of our lungs!
You know, to me it's truly amazing how music can sometimes quiet the loudest thoughts. That's actually why I dedicated this book to the reader with these words:
TO YOU
A single voice can fill the biggest soundless emptiness.
Always remember it.
Intensia
Thank you for sharing.
